From the realms of past my demons howl
Beyond bridges I lit they learned to fly
Apparitions, these ghosts of distant memory
Spectres. Remnants that just will not die
All my wrongs, my indiscretions they carry
From across the boundaries of time
The burdens I left for them to hold
Presented, laid out before my eyes
In their frozen gaze the blame
The questions to my lies
How hard I have tried to bury this
Yet here they stand before me
Phantoms
Beyond bridges I lit they learned to fly
Apparitions, these ghosts of distant memory
Spectres. Remnants that just will not die
From across the boundaries of time
The burdens I left for them to hold
Presented, laid out before my eyes
The questions to my lies
How hard I have tried to bury this
Yet here they stand before me
Phantoms

Meshuggah drummer Tomas Haake says of this track that it’s about regrets as you go through life – things you’ve said or done you kind of regret, they stay with you & haunt you – like ghosts or phantoms.
